BAD STATE OF CANADIAN FL
NNNCES.

The finances of the Dominion govern
ment are IN a bad way, five Judge by what
the Toronto Nl1, a paper that iSvery slow
in admitting that anything Canadian is not
Just right, says The lE,1 says that the
Canadian debt is steadily increasing, and
the estimates include SlI.5T2, 600 Tor debt
charges, being IN increase OF $500, OOO
over the debt charge OF ten years ago. The
de6t charges. in fact, now eat up q third OF
the revenue, the average annual charge per
head being = for the benefit Of creditors
and 81 for the treasury. The present net
dent is $50, 600. 900, and the NrH says
that if the bad assets are thrown out it Is
nearer $40. UO0, 600 The debt Is creeping
up to an amount Of $50 per head Of the
population, or about double the per capita
debt of the United States.
In addition 20 this debt, there are now
movements on foot to greatly augmentit by
granting subsidies to railroads Already
the .E,H SAYS the dominion and provincial
governments have subsidized railways to
the extent OF SIS5, OOO OOO, and the munic-
ipalties have voted So, 1000, OOO more. In
addition S&O, OOOOOO of public money has
been sunk in canals. The promoters of
the various new railroad projects now he
fore the country are asking the government
for bonuses aggegatiug $40, tl5,OOO.
The growth Of the debt is far outStrip-
ping the population and it Is no wonder
many Of the Canadian people are regard
ing the prospect as gloomy. For this
reason Editor O'EErEN's visit may be
much more welcome than it would other
wise have been.

Mayor Hewitt has discovered what municipal
authorities seem to have been q long time finding
out, but what Intelligent housekeepers have
always understood, namely, that the best way TO
keep streets, ETC., clean Is TO prevent them from
becoming dirty. Accordingly he has issued an
order prohibiting the sweepings from the hall
ways stores shops, warehouses, etc., Of New York
nom being swept on the sidewalks or into the
streets, and q number Of arrests have already
been made for violations of the order. This Is o
step In the night direction. and, on the principle
that an ounce Of prevention is worth q pound Of
cure, 1t will go very far toward securing the end
In view. The new rule wiz, moreover, II carried
out, largely reduce the cost Of street sweeping,
which has become 50 large an item In all annual
municipal expenditures
BY the way, II such an order has not already
been issued here II would be well for the Commits
siOners to issue it at once and cause ft to be rig
dly enforced. Especially ought the scattering Of
ragA paper, ETC., on the streets be prevented,
whether in large or small pieces That sort Of
thing IL INDUCED In altogether too frequently and
has become a regular nuisance In Washington.
The practice in addition to largely Increasing the
Nth OF the city, Is really source OF danger,
since few things so likely to fnghten horses as
rolling and nying bits Of paper; and more than
one very serious injury has resulted from that
cause. Under the police authority given them by
the act passed at the last session OF Congress. the
District Commissioners undoubtedly have the
power to issue regulation to this effect and they
should not hesitate to exercise 1t.

There Is wisdom in the advice Of the Paris news
papers to their readers, that this is especially q
time for holding their patriotic enthusiasm In
check. The tendency Of such an affair as the ar
rest Of Mr. Schnaebeles Is excite into life all the
bitterness that may be latent In the French soul
toward Germany. French popular enthusiasm,
particularly Ia relation TO anything that concerns
l0 patrie, Is as uncertain an element as gunpow-
der when q torch Is near at hand. It may, by its
sudden and violent expansion, destroy the most
perfect fabric that diplomacy can construct II the
French people should take 1t into their hearts to
drop peaceful negotiations at this stage and de-
mand reparation for the Schnaebeles incident as
the alternative Of an uprising against the German
residents In France, and perhaps q compensatory
insult TO the German ambassador, Germany might
be IuStired in maintaining that she had not yet
satisfied herself as to the merits OF the case in
controversy and refuse to be pushed goaded into
a course which her calm judgment would after
ward disapproye. Nothing would then remain to
the makers Of these threats but to retreat from q
ridiculous position or to overthrow their govern
ment, return TO the chaos Of the commune and in
volve their country In civil strife as well as In an
other war with its traditional enemy.

It has taken Mr.. Gladstone some time to get to
the front with what he knows OF Mr. Parnell's
opinion OF the Phoenix Park murders, but he has
got there at last. His testimony will weigh, In
the minds OF most candid Engltshmen, at least as
much as the assertions Of the London Times on
any subject, and perhaps more. The only posi-
BILE reconciliation between the attitude OF Mr. Par
Eel as revealed to MI. Gladstone and his attitude
as revealed by the letter published in the 1imss-
assuming the letter to be genuine-rests In the
suppositton that he was playing a double part,
and inviting double risk OF exposure by commit
ting himself TO writing In both characters This
would have been o piece OF folly which even the
least indulgent critic of the Irish patriot leader
would scarcely venture to attribute to him. More
over, there is another incongruity to be faced In
such an event II he really bore for Ireland q love
